The Packers are a heavy 9.5-point favorite in this week's contest, indicating an extreme rushing game script.THE BLITZ projects Aaron Jones to be a much bigger part of his team's rushing attack near the goal line this week (43.6% projected Red Zone Carry Share) than he has been this year (33.3% in games he has played).The Green Bay Packers offensive line grades out as the 5th-best in football this year at blocking for rushers.The New York Giants linebackers project as the 4th-worst LB corps in the NFL this year when it comes to run defense.The New York Giants have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 11.4% of their plays since the start of last season, 5th-least in football. Choosing not to position an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
